You only need to buy thermal paste after 4 years

The cooler will come with enough paste to begin with

Like I said

you won't have to buy paste for MANY years

It will come with your pc

For ryzen CPUs, an uncooked pea sized blob in the middle of the cpu. For intel lga 1700, a grain of rice in the center.
All of this assuming the cooler doesn’t have some already applied

Arctic mx-4/6 will do you just fine and it’s not much more than $1 per gram
